The Last Of Us Remastered

I'm new to the Playstation ecosystem with the PS5. So there was a huge back catalogue that I've gotten to explore that has been amazing. I heard how amazing this game was but I was unsure. Before this game, I really avoided anything that dealt with zombies. But I decided to give it a chance. It was one where my wife watched the entire game. And the story was gripping and at times heartbreaking. There is no player agency; you can't impact the story. But the set pieces are nearly perfectly designed to tell the story they wanted to tell. I really enjoyed the crafting and upgrading but was constantly worried about missing stuff so I'm sure I spent more time playing the game that most.

This one beats out the sequel for me. And this one is one of the best gaming experiences I've had and one that I was happy my backseat gamer wife could enjoy with me.

I recommend this to people who love zombie games because it is a very long and independent story that gives you a big adventure, go ahead and get this game if you have the money to waste, I recommend this before you buy part 2. Good game :)

I highly enjoyed the game, much because of its story. It did not grab me with the gameplay though. To me it was a chore to play sometimes. I also found the AI of the enemies to be annoying sometimes. I get that the human enemies have a repetetive patterns, but it does not make sense that the "zombies" have it as well. Made it hard to be sneaky as they often crossed the same paths, over and over again. So to me te game was a bit overrated. The multiplayer was meh, but don't affect this score.
